SALES ACTIVITY:

During the month of August, six homes went under contract in Bloomfield CT. In comparison, in 2010, thirteen homes went under contract in the month of August. This reflects that sales activity for the month of August was off by more than 50% as compared to this time last year. Sales are running even with the previous month (July) which also saw six homes go under deposit.

In addition, nine properties were sold (closed sales) in Bloomfield during the month of August 2011, ranging from $19,900 to $350,000. Closed sales were on the market before going under deposit an average of 152 days. In comparison, in 2010, there were 10 closed sales in the month of August, but the average days on market was only 112.

While August's closed sales activity is running fairly even with last year, it is taking more time on the market for homes to sell. Further, with August's 50% drop in new properties going under deposit, we will expect that days on market will lengthen, or prices may drop slightly as some sellers attempt to make their homes the "best priced" among their competition.

With nine homes selling in one month, and 161 homes on the market, the absorption rate is 17.8. This means that it could take 17-18 months to absorb the current inventory of homes now on the market.
